black or white, IMO you get fired for saying somehting like this on a show that has as much of a following as Imus's because it is directed towards a specific group without reason. It would be like letterman or leno identifying a guest (white or black) as a . Like here is the natalie portman or madonna etc."First, rap music merely reflects what's really going on in poorer neighborhoods - right or wrong.
Second, rap music doesn't single out 10 young girls and call them hoes...in other words, it's not personal.
Third, and this is debatable, but IMUS had a following and was seen as a political platform for many. Rap music is pure entertainment - debased in some cases, but it's not generally seen as a credible source of news, information and politics.
So, while I agree that rap music has warts and should change, it's not the artists who benefit. It's the white music execs, in most cases. Even if it's not, you can't equate rap music with IMUS.
My point is that a WHITE person should be offended by his remarks. People want to make this into a white/black issue. So, in order to temper the argument they mention rap music. If a black announcer referred to these young women as nappy headed hoes, would it have been any less offensive? any more acceptable? NO.
And by the way, listen to metal and other forms of music, it's not just in rap. It's how women are objectified on MTV. On soaps, reality shows, etc.
So, while I agree that rap music should hold to a standard, it's clear that IMUS should be held to a higher one. Now when Jay-Z starts getting interviews with Tim Russert , McCain and Biden, then let's talk."
But, the entertainment factor is pretty irrelevent. A white rapper (as if they are born in great volumes) cannot be surrounded by black "ho's" in a music video while slapping their asses with honey and jelly without making headlines. It isn't because it is an interacial gangbang or anything, obviously, but because the word ho is a direct racial slur. The term ho to my knowledge is basically used to equate black women with . HO = black (i can't exactly get my webster for that one) Can a white guy in a rap video call black women ho's becasue he is an entertainer?
